Anubias coffefolia (Loose Plant)

Anubias coffeefolia – Textured, Deep-Green Aquatic Plant for Freshwater Aquariums

Anubias coffeefolia is a unique and highly durable aquatic plant prized for its deep green, heavily textured leaves and copper-toned veins that resemble the look of coffee plant foliage—hence its name. A favorite among aquascapers and planted tank hobbyists, this Anubias species adds bold texture, contrast, and long-lasting beauty to freshwater aquariums.

Ideal for midground to background placement, Anubias coffeefolia thrives when attached to hardscape such as rocks or driftwood. It requires low to moderate lighting, does not need CO₂ supplementation, and is extremely tolerant of a wide range of water conditions. Like other rhizome plants, its root system should not be buried in substrate to prevent rot.

This plant grows slowly and is exceptionally resistant to algae and damage from herbivorous fish, making it perfect for low-tech tanks, cichlid tanks, and shrimp setups.
